An older Yonex Muscle Power frame that a Malaysian blogger bought in 2009 and found to have a heavier head than the cheaper MP 21 and 22. He expected stronger smashes from it. It is long out of production and almost nothing was published about it, so treat it as a second-hand find rather than something to buy new.
- Heavier head than the cheaper Muscle Power 21 and 22, so smashes carry more weight
- A 2012 reader called it well balanced and comparable in strength to the Carbonex 21
- Discontinued and hard to find; one 2010 buyer said it was already gone with little information online
- Weight, flex, materials and length are not published in any source we found
Where to buy
None of the UK shops we check sell it right now, so it may only be available abroad. Researched price: about £69.

Balance estimated from the brand label; flex placed from the brand label. Brands rate stiffness differently, so treat flex as approximate.
